Former state school employee Barbara Johnson, who retired in May 2017, saved $24,932 toward a pension over 8 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Johnson would collect as much as $380,148, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Rockford Sun.

The projection assumes Johnson received $7,990 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 4 years of retirement, Johnson will have already received $33,428 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
